Summary

MY 2018 CHEVY TRAX DASHBOARD WENT BONKERS. THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF DASH WENT BLACK THEN AS I WAS DRIVING ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS, OIL, ENGINE, DOOR OPEN, TIRE, ABS, BRAKE, BATTERY, STARTED GOING ON AND OFF, AND THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER DIAL WOULD WOULD GO ALL THE UP AND ALL THE DOWN AND THEN GO BLACK. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON REGULAR SURFACE ROADS AND THE HIGHWAY. I WAS USING BLUETOOTH, WITH MY PHONE PLUGGED IN TO THE CAR LIGHTER THING AND A USB AND I HAD GOOGLE MAPS AND SPOTIFY GOING THROUGH MY CAR RADIO. THIS HAPPENED IN OCTOBER 2020 AND THE RADIO WAS REPLACED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 30 2020. I RECORDED A VIDEO AT A CORNER NEAR MY WORK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DECEMBER 3. AT MY APPOINTMENT, I SHARED THE VIDEO WITH THE SERVICE PERSON TO PROVE I AM NOT A CRAZY, HYSTERICAL PERSON. THE SERVICE TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND EVEN HAD THEIR TECH TALK TO GM ENGINEERING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. I GOT MY CAR BACK ON JANUARY 4, 2021, BUT IT WAS NOT FIXED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

Summary

AUGUST 2020 AT ABOUT 20K MILES TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT DEALER. ADDED RECOMMENDED TIRE ROTATION. EVERYTHING IS FINE. I INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECAL ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND PARTS WILL BE ORDERED AND SHOULD BE CALLED. NO CALL! MAY 2020 - TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR CODE REGARDING THE TURBO CHARGER (WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE WASTEGATE WAS STICKING) THEY ALSO WERE FINALLY ABLE TO INSTALL LOWER CONTROL ARM PARTS THAT THEY NEVER CALLED ME ABOUT. THIS IS ABOUT 30K MILES. DEC 31, 2020 AT ABOUT 36K MILES I TAKE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. I AM NOW BEING TOLD MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL STUD IS CROSS THREADED AND I HAVE UNEVEN WEAR AND REQUIRE AN ALIGMENT. I'M ASSUMING THEY DID NOT ALIGN MY CAR WHILE INSTALLING THAT PART FROM THE RECALL AND THEIR TECH CROSS THREADED THE STUD ON MY WHEEL. I WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL THEY INSTALLED THE NEW CONTROL ARM WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO TAKE THE TIRE OFF. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY TRYING TO PUT THE BLAME BACK ON ME, HOWEVER, THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED THE TIRES. I TRULY HOPE GUARANTY CHEVROLET IN SANTA ANA, CA DO RIGHT BY ME AND TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN DONE ABOUT 6K MILES AGO AT THERE SERVICE SHOP.

Summary

WE PURCHASED OUR 2018 CHEVY TRAX JANUARY 2018. IN APPROX. JULY WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FACTORY RECALL FOR THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. UP UNTIL THIS POINT WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING OUR TRAX IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS TO DALE EARNHARDT JR CHEVROLET. THE DAY I DROPPED OFF MY TRAX FOR THE RECALL INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH MY FRONT TIRES WERE IN EXTREME HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DECLINED PURCHASING NEW TIRES AT THAT POINT BECAUSE I WANTED A SECOND OPINION. REASON BEING HOW COULD THEY BECOME "EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS" IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AS IT BE UPON INSPECTION BOTH OF MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE FOUND TO BE FAULTY. MY VEHICLE WAS KEPT FOR APPROX. 6 WEEKS FOR REPAIR. DURING THAT TIME I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIRE DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE IMPACT THE CONTROL ARMS WOULD HAVE ON THE WEAR OF MY TIRES AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CONCURRED THAT IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE A IMPACT ON THE WEAR OF MY TIRES. AT THAT POINT I HAD JUST ALITTLE OVER 40,000. PER THE TIRE EXPERTS NEW TIRES ARE EXPECTED TO LAST AT LEAST 50,000 MILES. I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BUT OFFERED ME A DISCOUNTED RATE. I THEN OPENED A CASE WITH GM AND WAS TOLD GM WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE TIRES EITHER. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS DECISION. IF THE RECALL CLEARLY STATES A FAULTY CONTROL ARM 'COULD' CAUSE YOUR TIRES TO TOE OUT AND CREATE ISSUES WITH YOUR TIRE TREAD WHICH MINE DID WHY IS GM NOT COVERING THE COST OF THE TIRES. WOULD I HAVE HAD TO HAVE A CRASH TO HAVE THEM REPLACED?

PROBLEM 1. TURBO LEAKING AT JOINT TO INLET COUPLER (COVERED). PROBLEM 2. OXYGEN SENSOR DEFECTIVE (NOT COVERED). I HAVE 63,676 MILES ON MY TRAX AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,800 MILES ON THE OXYGEN SENSOR. MY CAR IS ONLY 1,400 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY AND I AM EXPERIENCING SO MUCH PROBLEMS. ALSO AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VISUAL SCREEN GOES BLANK THEREFORE THE RADIO AND REVERSE CAMACA DOES NOT WORK. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TOOK CARE OF IT FREE OF CHARGE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED ABOUT MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD YET AND SO MUCH PROBLEMS. THIS CAR MUST BE A LEMON.

Summary

THE DASH AND RADIO HAS GONE OUT SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR 9/2018. I CALLED DEALER THEY SAID THEY AWAITING THE UPDATE FROM GMC. YET TODAY THIS HAVE I RECEIVED A UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER IN THE DASH. IT'S BEEN 14 MONTHS. THEY RADIO JUST SHUTS OFF AND WON'T COME BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT BY THE TIME I DROVE THERE THE RADIO CAME BACK ON. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS OUT. NO ONE TOLD ME. I HAD TO LOOK AT THE SERVICE PAPERWORK MYSELF TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL ARM WELD. I HAD THE RECALL FIXED IN 6/2019. ON 11/4/2019 I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND DRIVING AND THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WENT OUT. THEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID I NEEDED IT SERVICES. THEY DEALER STILL HAVE MY CAR AND IS STATING IT'S A WHEEL SENSOR AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. A LIGHT OVER THE LICENSE PLATE BROKE AND I HAD TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. ONCE AGAIN THEY KEEP BLAMING CUSTOMER OR GMC FOR THE PARTS OR DEFECTS. YET MAKE CUSTOMERS PAY. THEY SAY THEY ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE PARTS DEPARTMENT. ALSO THAT I WANTED SERVICE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT. SO NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME $200 STATING IT WAS HIT FROM DEBRIS WHICH MY CAR HADN'T LEFT MY DRIVE WAY IN A MONTH. I THINK THE WHEEL SENSOR MAY HAVE GOTTEN BROKEN WHEN THEY REPAIRS THE CONTROL ARM WELD IN JUNE. BUT ARE TRYING TO BLAME CUSTOMER FOR IT. SO IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.*DT*JB

Summary

IN FEBRUARY ON ZERO DEGREE DAY MY 2018 TRAX HAD BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE AND ALMOST STALLED CAR RUNNING. I SAW ANOTHER TRAX THAT SAME DAY WITH BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE RETURNING SOME ONE ELSES TRAX AND IT HAD BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF IT. THE TRAX HAS A 1.4 TURBO ENGINE AND GM SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PCV SYSTEM ON THIS ENGINE. GM NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. YOU CAN LOOK ON YOUTUBE AND THE MECHANICS THERE ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIPS AND GM SEEM TO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM. THE 1.4 TURBO IS PUT IN MANY GM CARS. I WOULD THINK IF NOTHING ELSE THIS SHOULD BE A POLLUTION CONTROL RECALL.

NO ONE EVER CALLED TO SAY THAT MY CAR'S RECALL WAS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT DESPITE THEM ALREADY DOING THE INSPECTION BACK IN JUNE.

MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE ON 6/30/19, WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UDDER THE RECALL. AFTER NOT HEARING FROM THE DEALERSHIP I CALLED THEM ON AUGUST 2ND AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WOULD BE READY ON 8/5 OR 6. PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP RE-TESTED MY VEHICLE WITH A SPECIAL TOOL AND FOUND IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD BE REPLACING AT LEAST ONE OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. I ASKED MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTACT ABOUT THE RE-TEST AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND SHE INDICATED SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A NEW TOOL AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER DECIDED TO CHANGE BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AS A COURTESY AND SHE ALSO MAINTAINED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I WENT ON TO THIS WEBSITE TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS 1 UNADDRESSED RECALL. I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT TELLING ME THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND NEED MY CAR TO GET AROUND AND IT HAS BEEN IN THEIR POSSESSION SINCE JULY 19TH.
